Hmm...valid points...The envelope please thank you, the tension is killing me and the winner is oh my gosh 800 CFM. (Stupid joke yes) Properly tuned should do fine, I don't ever "Just bolt on something" probably explains why my truck is still sitting their. Eventually in the long run i'll be running better headers then the stockers among with a few other "Modifications" of course all valid with California Law..also i'm a lil bit Crazy, so in the long run it'll make more sense then having to upgrade later to a bigger carb. Thanks again daveyboy1, jade79.

Yeah, a 350 would need to turn about 8400rpm to use 850cfm.
5500rpm = 557cfm if it is 100% efficient which it isn't.
